Album Review
A Band of Orcs – “WarChiefs of the Apocalypse”
WarChiefs of the Apocalypse, the newest release from A Band of Orcs, is an exceptionally heavy, immensely powerful metal album that kicks some serious tail. A Band of Orcs comes out of the box swinging on the opening track, “I, Gogog” and the battering does not let up until the very last track, “Into The Maelstrom.” packaged between these two songs are five other unbelievably straight ahead metal tunes that are fast, heavy and designed for one thing; getting the listeners neck snapping for the duration.

Truthfully, I found no filler on this disc, just pure raw metal that is sure satisfy metal heads everywhere. Favorite tracks of mine on this disc include “Procreation” and “Bring Out Your Dead,” both of which are colossal face melting tunes that bang so hard I almost broke a sweat listening to them.
The buzz around these guys is growing and I was hoping to get a chance to listen to the disc, now I am glad I did. In my opinion, A Band of Orcs lives up to all of the hype.
Keep your eyes on these guys. I feel this is a band we will here more from in the very near future. WarChiefs of the Apocalypse is a blistering, yet extremely technical aural battering that metal fans will truly dig. The problem is that now the bar is set so high I don’t know if they will be able to surpass it. Check this one out, you will not be disappointed. [ END ]
